About the game
What you do in a play session
The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game – The Lost Realm brings the saga of the North into your deck, offering 165 cards that deepen the fight against evil. The expansion focuses on the Dúnedain Rangers, who patrol the cold northern lands, stopping the servants of the Dark Lord from spreading. Two new Dúnedain heroes, numerous allies, and a range of player cards enrich the cooperative experience, making each game unique. The narrative unfolds across nine encounter sets that form the basis for the expansion’s three new scenarios and pave the way for future adventures in the Angmar Awakened cycle. Hand management remains the game’s core, demanding players carefully choose when to use their cards to maximize impact against foes. The epic atmosphere and tactical depth make this expansion a valuable addition for those who already own the base game and want to explore more of Tolkien’s universe. Get ready to face challenges that will test your strategy, cooperation, and adaptability to unpredictable situations, all while diving into the stories that inspired the original trilogy.
